    Im actually really really struggling with connections, I just can’t say hi to anyone, it actually worrying me, I just can’t do it, Im worried I never will be able to, I want atleast do it before I move onto my next chapter. I don't know what to do, I'm finding it impossible, its upsetting me.

    @Redemption that does sound overwhelming. I know you're worried about moving onto your next chapter, and building connections with other people / learning how is something that I think nearly everyone is constantly learning. What do you think is stopping you from just saying hi to someone? Do you think you're able to write up some small goals that you think are reasonable to put you on the path towards building connections with people?

    @eylah I know you've been dealing with a lot the last couple of days, no wonder you're exhausted. How are you dealing with it all?

  • NathanNathan Community Connector Posts: 3,180 Boards Guru

    @eylah i swear, that cat is an absolute villain and a menace 😂.

    I really hope you can get some rest without the cat bothering you anymore, cause you really deserve a break and a rest after this last few days.

    @eylah sometimes, people can just be horrible that way. But i want you to know this, you went above and beyond as a friend to them, far more than most. You made sure they got the help they needed, made sure they were safe to the most of your abilities, for days on end was there for them, supporting them, and doing your absolute best for them, even at the cost of your own mental health. You haven't done anything to deserve this, you've been a life saver to K. And if K wants to throw it back in your face, then screw them. K didn't deserve your kindness or your friendship.

    -

    But nothing about K's actions or how they're treating you reflects on you. You should be getting thanked for everything you've done for them, and it's honestly so cruel that the moment they get that support, they block you. You deserve so much better than that my favourite twat, and i hope you know that. Nobody as kind as you deserves to be treated the way you have been by K.

    So I guess I would update you on how my job interview went last week ish. So it went well and I felt better for getting it done in the end. However as of recent I got news that I didnt get the job in customer service although I did have feedback on it.

    @Amy22 good job going for that interview! Interviews can be nervewracking. It's a shame you didn't get the job, but the interview alone is an experience. You said you had feedback on it too. How did it go, and how are you feeling about the feedback?

    @Sabah im not fully sure specifically why, might be a few things like my cleaning job, fear of being the "laughing stock" because in school I acted kinda weird back in like secondary, i finished school a while back now but faced on going negativity, setbacks and all that, ive felt everything i do have failed, even now im questioning if I am where I should be at in life but I think I doing pretty well, its not glamorous but it's a start, it's money, skills, routine, I have been thinking about goals which I'm on the right path to achieving and them goals are realistic to point if things keep going well, I dont jinx anything then they will become the reality especially as I'm looking to increase my hours but even up until then. Like I can find a girlfriend, get a new which I have mind what I want, I could save , ive set up an lisa account recently for a house, just need to put some money in but yh things could go well. I am bit wary that I could jinx it and a little scared of going back to square one but if I dont do anything too wrong things should stay on the up. Its just this connections thing, I dont need to talk to anyone, I could just be someone who does their job and goes home not talking to anyone but I want more than that, I want to build some interactions. I think its just that Im worried people don't want to talk to me because of the stigma of my job or maybe i come across as stupid or broken etc. I think its a big number of things and I really want to change it. Im just self conscious, even now I'm worried I'm bragging about the goals, next steps thing I mentioned above and I really hope I don't come across like that too, I want to stay humble whatever happens and ive not made it in life, just saying my next steps.

    To be honest having the feedback was super helpful because it will only help me to further improve upon my skills. So from what I gathered from reading the feedback, they mentioned that the role itself as it would be in customer service I believe they were looking for someone with a bit more experience. Whereas I haven't got a lot of experience in that field. Also the demands of the job they felt would have been too high for me eventhough I am willing to learn and to be taught. It was also mentioned I am more suited towards a role in marketing (I'm currently doing a rotation in Marketing on my internship atm) and that I've got a passion for it.

    I think realistically I just feel so tired of constantly having to apply for things and I feel constantly worn out by trying so hard despite my job coach saying apply for this role and that rather than focusing on what I want to do.
